  • Weird quite deep rumbling noise coming from my Ultegra rear mech, apparently from the jockey wheels. I've got a KMC X11 SL chain and as the chain goes over the jockey wheels it seems a bit lumpy, specifically as it passes round the upper jockey wheel.

    If I turn the pedal with my hand as the bike's on the stand I can feel the rumbling through the pedal. This bike/groupset were new only about 1300 miles ago and it's just not smooth like it should be.

    What's going on please?

  • Sounds like a B screw issue. Check the distance between the top jockey wheel and the sprocket. There should be about 1 and a half links in the gap.

  • My Serotta did this- the jockey wheels had frozen, the chain was running over them rather than around them
